How well Captain Hook holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 18°, Captain Hook gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,420 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
